Nintendo is facing a ban on sales of the Wavebird, Classic Controller, and Nintendo GameCube controller for its Wii and GameCube systems after it lost a bid to overturn a $21 million patent-infringement verdict.
U.S. District Judge Ron Clark rejected Nintendo's request for a new trial in the case won by Anascape Ltd. The judge said that he would stop sales of the Wii Classic Controller, WaveBird controller and Nintendo GameCube...
Note: The Wii remote and Nunchuk do not infringe on the patent and therefore are in no danger of being banned.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
Then sh*t out another Pokemon title to replace the money.

...The beginning of the end of Nintendo? o_o
They should just pay the fine. It seems logical.
interesting
BOOOOM HEADSHOT!
Phew just bought myself 3x official new sealed platinum pads even though the announced jap pads were due to come out soon
Hard to find official GC pads that are new (at least in GB)and the 3rd party stuff is very bad
Solely for Pikmin2 and Four Swords, maybe a little bit of Rogue
